As someone who does grassroots campaigning, I’m not sure she can. She needs to reach out wherever her audience is.

Yeah really. I can stop using Twitter because nobody gives a shit about me. My thoughts have 0 impact.

Companies and figures can't simply ignore the platform and remain competitive.

Ok I can accept that. I am not speaking about her personally but about many people on the revolutionary left who stay on there and spend 90 percent of the time complaining about what Elon Musk did or said. There's something wrong with this "politics of negativity", where the very apparent opposition you have to something is what ultimately fuels it. It's ironic in a sense. A post complaining about Elon Musk is ultimately creating money for Elon Musk. The apparent discourse and the latent effect are diametrically opposed.
